I guess the previous post related to James Clark and relax NG, where the
xml (probably) came first, and an abbreviated syntax was also offered
as an alternative.
   Whether that model would be of use to xquery I don't know.
I don't think it was meant that xqueryx was the shorthand for the
'freeform' (or so it seems) xquery.
